Rhythm control of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) patients represents a challenge for the
modern interventional cardiac electrophysiologist; as a matter of fact, there is still divergence …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a condition in which the electrical signals in the upper heart
chambers (atria) are rapid and disorganized, producing an irregular and chaotical heartbeat …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with profound structural and functional
changes in the atria. In the present study, we investigated the association between left atrial …

Background Left atrial (LA) function can be impaired by the atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation
and might be associated with the risk of recurrence. We sought to determine whether the …

Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the course of tricuspid regurgitation (TR)
after transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR), identify predictors for severe TR after TMVR …

Purpose To determine whether the distance between the descending aorta and left atrial
(LA) wall correlates with the amount of fibrosis quantified in the posterior left inferior …

Many cardiac insults causing atrial remodeling are linked to either stretch or tachycardia, but
a comparative characterization of their effects on early remodeling events in human …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia encountered clinically, and as the
population ages, its prevalence is increasing. Although the CHA2DS2− VASc score is the …

Upstream treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF, for short) is a new approach to the prevention
and treatment of AF with non-antiarrhythmic drugs, which is essentially primary and …

Objective Advancements in fluoroscopy-assisted procedures have increased radiation
exposure among cardiologists. Radiation has been linked to cardiovascular complications …
